Little Girl "Live", Syndicate of Sound 2014

From the Syndicate of Sound's Show; "1966" the Tabard Theatre 2014.

[@q98rt710]

After over 50 years the lead singer still sounds the same. Great job of a great song by a great group. The 60's best!!!!!!!!

[@brucewayne3602]

beyond bloody brilliant ... Thankyou SOS !!!

[@frankrees3120]

WOW. HOW MANY BANDS CAN COME BACK AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND SOUND THE SAME!!! THE FIRST I'VE SEEN!!!

[@haroldreyes7549]

The original guitar lead sounds great!!!!!!

[@davequ]

Drummer John Duckworth just passed away, some 3 years after lead vocalist Don Baskin in 2019. Sad. These guys and this song were to me the epitome of great '66 "Garage Rock." I'm glad this video of them playing live in 2014 survived. It looks like they're really having a good time, and they sound great.

[@PLugtmeier]

Absolutely great indeed!!

[@foldsofblubber]

it always seems we lose them too soon ...duckworth was VN vet.

[@zfleming44]

Drummer deserves a lot of credit for carrying the Rhythm of this great song.

[@petersimmons1360]

I totally agree...they are ALL GREAT musicians, but the drummer is a total force field!

[@foldsofblubber]

love the drum rolls

[@peterfuhrmann5033]

The Syndicate Of Sound just "Busted It With This Song" - it's timeless it's a wonderful beach sound made for dancing.

[@TennesseeHomesteadUSA]

Thank goodness I was able to see this ! It's been a very long time...

[@GrimpleGromble]

Just so good, they captured the original vibe, raw and not overproduced. I could watch this 100,000 times.

[@brucewayne3602]

oh hell &&& more than that !!!

[@Lisbeth22250]

No, a MILLION times.

[@DerGlaetze]

This period of 1966 was special. These guys were part of the epicenter of coolness 😎

[@davequ]

I was in a "garage" band then ('66) and you're right, it was special.

[@lauranceemory4448]

Yeah an had TWO Rickenbackers, not just one!!!! Take that George and John!

[@philmarasco7833]

What a grate song this was ...love it.🎶🎶🎸🎸☮️

[@w.rustylane5650]

I remember this song back in '66 when I was still in HS. Loved it then and as well as now. Just learned how to play this on my Ibanez strat copy. The guy playing the 12 string looks like Chet Adkins. I'm sorry to hear that Don Baskin passed away. I knew they were a little older than me. I'm now 69 and Don was 73 last year. I always loved this song. Great lead licks. I always considered this to be part of the "beach music" of the era. That's why I learned to play it on guitar.

[@ratter531]

Still sounds so good in 2024.

[@CarolE.Johnson]

Now this Is Totally Groovy! Real Music! I could listen all day long! So, I play it over 'n over again! Talkin' bout my Generation, Aw Yeah!!! The only True & Real Music Era! Ya learn the words 'n sing along every time. I do! C'ya, CJ-4-JC always😎

[@ThatTablerockmatt]

Just stumbled across this tonight in a drunkin stuper. Absolutely fricking amazing.......

[@charlesoliva8174]

Almost 50 years later, these guys look like they’re having a blast playing this. And the go-go dancers are a nice touch.

[@davequ]

The go-go dancers WAS a nice touch. I cracked up. But that's how it was. I was playing then, and I remember "go-go" dancers in cages above the stage. 😄

[@MrRichulan]

After almost 50 years they still sing and play as the best!

[@lynnuttall]

I bought this here in Australia when I was 15, I've listened to it ever since, and it still sounds fresh and original. Now I see you are the original singer, and co-writer! This track was ahead of its time, or maybe out of time, just special in every detail. Genius!

RIP Don Baskin, lead singer. He passed away Oct 23, 2019. He was 73.

[@actionjackson6748]

Just read that. Very sad. One of the greatest One hit Wonders ever. And that live version above is REALLY good. Very well played by the band.

[@davequ]

RIP I was 16 and playing in a band when this came out. This is a timeless classic '60s hit. So sorry to hear Don has passed. I hope the other author / bass player Bob Gonzalez is still around. Anyone found an obit for Don? RIP guy. :(

Fantastic. It still has the same feeling and power as in the sixties. I consider this song as my all time favourite. Glad to see it live now. Never well known by a big audience. At least not here in the Netherlands. You guys should know how much pleasure this song gave me through the years. Greetings from Amsterdam

Fantastic. True to the original recording. Of the few 60s bands left playing most don't seem to retain the original sound or try to reproduce it. This is spot on. Thanks guys.

[@WilliamBarryRoberts]

my thoughts exactly....these guys still have "it"

[@petrologyboy]

This is an epic performance. Bravo to everyone on the stage!

[@rayposhadlo3735]

Wow! These guys sound just as good as they did when 15-year-old-me saved my nickels and dimes up to buy their 45 record from Dearborn Music store in Dearborn, Michigan. Years later I put that record in my vintage 1964 Rockola juke box (the one with the window where you can see the records vertically spinning around until the selected one is rotated into the turntable). Those go-go dancers did are great job too... very creative and gorgeous!

[@mo9504]

MR Gonzalez, thank you for this song, you have no idea the memories this brings and it is all good, take that with you, you did good.

One of the few that kept the voice we remember oh so well! Rock on!

[@sammorreale6105]

I saw you guys open up for the Yardbirds in 1966 at the War Memorial in Rochester, NY. Don cut his hand on the tambourine very early in the set and they couldn't stop the bleeding. He never stopped performing and my sister still talks about that!

[@robertgonzalez1931]

I will let Don know, he borrowed Keith's tambourine, lead singer for the Yardbirds. And had to return it all bloodied up, Keith was very cool about it.

[@chrisst8922]

@@robertgonzalez1931 If Keith Relf had stuck to the tambourine he might be with us still.

[@PeterMayer]

I was about 7 years old when this came out and we lived outside of Chicago. Used to play it on WLS all the time. That guitar lick just slayed me as a kid and still does

[@larrya7360]

Same here. I was 11. Only riff I can think of to compare the song to, with the triplicate chording, is the Beatles' "All My Loving." You think Syndicate of Sound borrowed the guitar lick from that?

Whats missing from today's music is go-go dancer's. We need to bring them back.

From the annuls of "photo-punk" comes one of the great garage band hits of 1966I grew up in the SF bay area and this one was up there. I was even in a garage band that played it back in the day. The Syndicate had a couple of other singles on the Bell label but this was their hit. "Too bad Little Girl".....they weren't bigger. I thought they were a cool band.

Being 26 past July I didn't realize that these are the same guys, they don't look exactly like the pictures of my grandparents that are 74 showed me. They look a little bit different, I guess you know 48 years can do that to people! But we have this song in our arsenal, as I am a lead vocalist.That's pretty cool, really like the song a lot so God bless guys and I understand recently the lead singer passed away, God bless him

My Favorite song as a kid, and still never get tired of playing this vid, SO well done! In 1966 when I was 10 I use to sit/ride in the Passenger seat of my cousin's 65 Red Culass 442 Vert White interior, 401 4 speed, and when this song came on, I remember my cousin had to get on it. THAT was a car!
We'd pull up to Stop lights on HWY 100 in West Allis Wis and he'd lay a 20 on the dash and yell at the guy in the car next to him "Wanna run em?"
He was only 15 with a PERMIT and my Uncle/My Godfather bought it for him at the auction. It was hit light in the front, so he put on new fenders and hood/radiator and grill, but NEVER got to the Bumper. What a FAST and hot car! Such a Rock'n/innocent time !
